The difference between tortoise and tortoise

Tortoise and tortoise are both turtles, but their themes are different:

A turtle is a turtle-turtle, and a turtle is a turtle-turtle.

The appearance is also very different:

Turtles are hard shells with cracked lines on the shell surface; The tortoise is a soft shell with a smooth surface.

Turtle is the common name of grass turtle, because grass turtle will turn black when it grows up, and it is also a native turtle, so people in China call it turtle when they see more. Turtles are a big category of turtles, and there are many kinds. Most of them are gentle and don't attack other animals (except what they think is food).

The tortoise, commonly known as Jiao Jia, is a tonic on the table. Unlike the tortoise, it is fierce and often attacks other animals when it thinks it will be in danger.

Knowledge expansion: From the biological point of view, the distribution of soft-shelled turtle in Chinese mainland is wider than that of soft-shelled turtle (Chinese grass turtle). There are basically turtles in all major cuisines, but only in Hubei and Hunan have famous dishes with turtles as their staple food (China Cooking Book (Hubei) earns "turtle soup").

Traditionally, turtles were the source of divination materials before Qin and Han dynasties, which was mysterious; From Qin and Han Dynasties to Tang Dynasty, turtles were regarded as nobles because of their long life. The soft-shelled turtle is doomed to be eaten from the beginning. There is a "soft-shelled turtle man" in Zhou Li Tianguan, alongside the "orc" and "fisherman".

Turtle has more medicinal value than food, such as Guiling Ointment.

People like to eat soft connective tissue (skirt) when eating turtles, so more people choose turtles instead of turtles.

Turtles have large crustaceans and produce less meat than soft-shelled turtles. At present, some game restaurants have also started to cook turtle dishes, and there are several commonly used varieties, such as Brazilian turtle, Chinese turtle, Taiwan Province turtle, big crocodile turtle and small crocodile turtle. It is said that the meat yield of snapping turtles can reach 85%-89%.
